In Cabin Microfilter

Hey,
Do all of the 5th gen Maximas have the In cabin microfilter that you're supposed to replace every 30,000 miles? I found the instructions at http://www.courtesyparts.com/instruc...infilter.htlml but I don't seem to have the stickers on in my glove box that they mention. So does that mean that I don't have the microfilter??

Some that supposedly came with one did NOT. *cough* Colonel *cough*

You most likely don't if you don't have the stickers.

I know...

it was optional on 2000. no sticker, no filter.

You may want to think twice about doing one..

1. $40!!!
2. I dont like the smells that come thru the charcoal filter. Some smells are completely blocked, but others are even worse.
3. I'm not sure, but ever since I started using them, I've had problems with a ticking fan motor... same on my Pathfinder..

The sticker on the glove box says that it is washable, even though the manual says that it must be replaced?!??!?

Yeah I raised a little hell on that one so they gave me a set of filters. They asked if I wanted them to install them....NO WAY...long story but they cant install anything in my cabin without damaging or scratching anything.

I have not ticking motor, as of yet, I do not recommend washing them at all (they are paper media) and like Tim said they are 40+ a crack.

Meaning that the car is equipped to have one but someone forgot to stick it in there? Or that the car is just not capable of ever having one?

Yes, he was charged money for that option and when he tried to replace it, he couldn't find it. So, he took it to the dealer and they said it didn't come with one even though he had that option.

Long story short, it's a pain in the **** to figure out where the hell the filter is, when you don't actually have one.
